One of the high points of the
Academy’s calendar is the Awesome Auction to be held on
Friday, April 13. The times are 6:30pm to 8:00pm in the
Trinity Gym. Proceeds will benefit the Fine Arts Program
of Trinity Christian Academy.
The Auction has been expanded
to appeal to all ages, interests and pocketbooks. For the
little ones, there will be a Bounce House and everyone
will enjoy musical performances by the school band.
The Live Auction will features
items such as tires, hotel stays, vintage collectible
posters and tuition vouchers.
The Silent Auction is a
process where many items can be sold simultaneously by
means of a sheet of paper at each item. Bidders write
their name and bid amount on the item they desire and the
high bid at the end of the designated times wins, and it
is paid for at that time. Bidders can continue increasing
their bids on the sheets provided until the auction is
called. Some of the items included in the Silent Auction
are restaurant certificates, jewelry, golf packages, lawn
tools, Pampered Chef products, Southern Living items for
the home and a cake walk. A popular category is many
different gift baskets created by Academy classes:
Gardening baskets, a New Home basket, Tool Assortment,
among many others. Remember, the high amount on that
sheet of bid paper takes it home.
There is a
barbeque dinner from 5:30pm to 7:00pm, for $6.50, however
admission to the Auction is free. There will be door
prizes given out during the evening, and if you wear red,
white and blue, you will receive extra opportunities to
win door prizes. Come join us for a fun evening.
